MG Strike Freedom Gundam [Mechanical Clear] - Together with the MGEX Strike Freedom Gundam.

Together with the MGEX Strike Freedom Gundam.

This kit is the MGEX Strike Freedom Gundam [Mechanical Clear], released as a Club G (Premium Bandai) online exclusive. It's a version of the MGEX Strike Freedom Gundamreleased as a standard release, but with the armor swapped out for clear parts — and since the internal frame was already famous for being so elaborate, the clear armor really does the kit justice.

Aside from the armor runners being changed to clear, everything else — decals, stickers, PET shield, manual, and even the molded colors — is identical to the original kit. Basically, just a handful of runners for the white/blue exterior armor (excluding some of the black and gray parts) have been swapped to clear material. So there's nothing new in terms of structure or gimmicks, and for this review you really just need to take a good look at how different the overall appearance feels. The big selling point here is that the multi-frame in UNLEASHED style — plated parts and all — is clearly visible right through the transparent armor.

On top of that, being a premium lineup kit, there was already a ton of detail molded on the inside of the armor panels — and now that the armor is transparent, all that inner detail is visible from the outside along with the frame. Depending on the lighting, the intricate inner molds and frame work together in a way that's on a whole different level of visual flair compared to the original kit. And since the original kit was already perfect in terms of articulation, gimmicks, and joint strength, this one comes out at the same top-tier quality.

So — UNLEASHED-grade MGEX frame with clear armor? That's pretty much the ultimate combination. The only head-scratcher is that just swapping the exterior armor runners to clear pushed the price up from ¥14,000 to ¥17,000. Not sure if it's just the online exclusive markup or a general price hike due to inflation. Either way, setting aside that puzzling price increase, this really is a fantastic Mechanical Clear kit. :-)
